I was obviously drawing parallels to Red Hat, which the Chicomms either bought a single copy or got a copy from somewhere else, and now make infinite copies they resell under a different name. What's to stop them from doing the exact samething here? HINT: flamer's lie that Concurrent isn't distributing it at all is an obvious loser.
FD never said they were not
But this isn't Red Hat, and it isn't available for general download and anonymous sale. But however Concurrent works, the point is that you were factually incorrect: you do not have to give a copy to anyone who asks.

While your code can be GPL, it can still be a corporate secret, covered under contracts with those you distribute it to. The GPL may give them the right to redistribute, but they can decline that right in the contract.

Not his lie, yours. I just read every one of his posts on that thread. He never said (and I quote you) "Concurrent isn't distributing it at all". He said they have the option of not redistributing it, that they couldn't be forced to redistribute it, but he never even hinted that they are not distributing it (obviously they're distributing it somewhat, as they have a contract with Lockheed to do exactly that).
The only lies I saw on that thread were yours, mainly related to your contention that the GPL forces a person to redistribute his derivative work of a GPL program.
As usual, not only do you lie on a thread, but you lie again in misrepresenting the posts of another user even after clarification is given, so it can't be an honest mistake.
